Practice Question

In context, which revision would most improve sentence 12 (reproduced below)? I am aware that what I see as determination, they sometimes see as a lack of realism.

Answer Choices

  • A: Change 'I am aware' to 'I notice'.
  • B: Change 'what I see' to 'the quality that I know'.
  • C: Change 'they' to 'other people'.
  • D: Delete 'sometimes'.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Change 'they' to 'other people'' because 'other people' clarifies the vague pronoun 'they,' improving readability. Options A and B introduce less precise phrasing, and D removes a nuance about occasional perceptions.
